Marian Zazeela

Marian Zazeela met Young in 1962, and the couple have been inseparable, both personally and professionally, ever since. In an interview with Minnestota Public Radio, Young described how they met: "On June 22nd, 1962, I was having a rehearsal with the hand drummer and poet Angus MacLise…. While we were upstairs listening to some gamelan music, Marian came upstairs, and we've been together ever since.
